On May 20. 2009 Astronaut Scott Parazynski summited Mt Everest. NASA allowed him to carry a specimen of the moon brought back on Apollo 11 to the top of the world. The Discovery channel has started airing the third season of Everest, Beyond the Limit and Scotts story will air again on the Discovery Channel Dec 30 at 8pm Eastern US time. I have seen the segment and it is certainly worth watching.
